Holger Henke attended the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science at the University of Munich, where he earned a Magister Artium (Political Science, with double minor in Modern German Literature and Communication Sciences) in 1987. He subsequently emigrated and lived for seven years in Jamaica. In 1996 he earned a Ph.D. in Government at the University of the West Indies (Mona, Jamaica) with a dissertation about the foreign relations of that country between 1972 and 1989.
Research and scholarshipedit
Henke studies international relations (Caribbean, Europe, US, and Asia), migration, political culture and development (political economy).[2] He has published seven books and numerous scholarly articles. For numerous years Henke was the editor of the peer-reviewed journal Wadabagei: A Journal of the Caribbean and its Diasporas. In 2010-11 he served as President of the Caribbean Studies Association.[3] Henke also served as an advisory board member of the Caribbean Research Center at Medgar Evers College (City University of New York), where he previously had worked as assistant director. Until 2012 he was a senior research fellow of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs in Washington (D.C.). From 2011-2015 he provided annual country reports for several Caribbean nations to the Washington-based think tank Freedom House; since 2018 he has provided similar reviews for the V-Dem Institute (University of Gothenburg). In 2013 Dr. Henke received a Fulbright International Education Administrators (US-UK) Award.[4] In 2014 he participated in the Harvard University Institute for Management and Leadership in Education (MLE). In August 2010, he received the honorary citizenship of Jamaica.
Work in Academic Administrationedit
During his tenure as Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs & Provost at Wenzhou-Kean University the student body of this institution grew from ca. 850 (AY 2014/15) to ca. 1,950 (AY 2017/18). The number of full-time faculty grew from 46 (AY 2014/15) to 96 (AY 2017/18). The establishment of several new key offices (e.g., Associate Deans for Business and Liberal Arts; Center for Curriculum Scheduling and Planning; Graphic Design studio and iMac lab; biology and physics labs; MakerSpace; Language Learning Lab; Office for Research and Sponsored Programs), the start of new academic programs (Applied Mathematics; Psychology; Graphic Design / Interactive Advertising; Management / Entrepreneurship option and Supply Chain & Information Management option; Architectural Studies), and the implementation of other academic support structures (e.g., scholarship reward program; Student Research Day; Vice Chancellor's Lecture Series; Global Lecture Series) marked the significant administrative, programmatic, and teaching & research infrastructure advancement during that period.
On September 22, 2015, China's President Xi Jinping remarked at the China-US Governors’ Forum in Seattle on the university's development: “When I was Governor of Zhejiang back in 2006, I attended a signing ceremony for a joint initiative between Wenzhou University and Kean University to establish Wenzhou-Kean University. After years of efforts, this university was finally up and running last year and is making good progress today.” [5] The construction of new Student Residential Buildings (with 1,800 beds), the College of Business and Public Management building (opened in 2018),[6] and the acceptance of a 100 million yuan grant by the Shanghai-based Dafa Properties Group for the construction of a School of Architecture and Design building also fall into this very productive growth period.[7] Dr. Henke also acted as the guardian of academic freedom at Wenzhou-Kean University where students enjoy full access to the internet, are able to watch international news programs on campus, and can access the library research databases at Kean University.
